The Splendid New Richmond Mt BuffAIo
Licked up by the Fire Demon.

BUFFALO, N. Y, March 1S.-A fire in
the Richmond Hotel was discovered at $3.50
this morning. An alarm was sounded and
the fire department responded promptly.
The house contained large number OF
guests. Their heartrending shrieks could
plainly be heard, Ladders were raised as
soon as possible and as many as could were
taken out. A large number OF them were
unable to effect their escape. At o'clock
the entire Richmond, st. james Hall and
otherproperty in the block were doomed TO
speedy destruction. The whole place
burned like tinder. The corridor in the
center OF the building acted as great fun
mel, and as the flames streamed upwards
the guests found themselves imprisoned
by walls OF fire. The screams of the un-
fortunates could be heard for blocks, and
at many Of the windows they could be seen
in their night clothes calling wildly
for help. AT one of the third floor
windows two guests were seen by
the crowd TO fall back into the flames.
One man jumped from the fifth floor
TO the roof of a two story wooden
building adjoining. He was seriously in
Iured. The estimate Of the loss of life is
stated TO be twelve. There were 125 per-
sons in the hotel, seventy of whom were
transient guests, eight boa ders, and the
remainder porters, bell boys, the families
Of the proprietors and clerks. Twenty
two Of these were rescued from the win
dows by the iremen, twenty-five are at
the hospitals and large number made
their escape by other means.

ready for fight. Some one reached out from
their ranks and smote Policeman Schaf-
iron on the head with brick, mashing his
nose and cutting open his eyes. Tho
officer arrested his assailant, and the mob
pounced upon the small squad Of police and
pelted them with bricks, stones and clubs.

forced the crowd back sufficiently to allow
them to reach patrol box with their pris-
